From the Vault: Remington Nylon 66 Rifle
Brownells Gun Tech™ Keith Ford provides an in-depth look at the iconic Remington Nylon 66 autoloading rifle. He highlights its revolutionary use of a Zytel 101 (nylon 66) synthetic polymer stock and receiver, a significant innovation in 1955. The video showcases an early 1959 model, detailing its mechanics and field stripping. Keith also touches upon related variants like the Nylon 77, Nylon 10C, and Nylon 76, and explains the common absence of serial numbers on many Nylon 66s. Production of this durable and lightweight rifle, of which over a million were made, ceased in 1989.
